Our green, simple living, smallholding dreams.

Tag Archives: heating

So many things to think about and remember with beginning this (very small) smallholding journey.

First project is trying to draught-proof the house. Dull I know, but I don’t plan on giving free money to the energy companies if I can help it and Westwick is a big rambling old house. The sort of house which leaks heat like a sieve. I need somewhere to list my resources and elements of the project as I tick them off.
Soon after we moved in I started work on the big curtains to go in front of the floor to ceiling rooms in the verandah room and the living room. The verandah room looks great now with really heavy drapes but the living room isn’t finished yet those curtain are up but too short and I need to add some fabric to the bottom of them. But this is only the start of my curtain quest (I have many, many curtains to make).
